    This site has a lot of information, this link should take you onto a page that talks about how to integrate a new kitty with your current one. But please do be aware that some cats just are not social, and they will never adjust.

    Spayed? Not Spayed? Ever have a litter of kittens? How long have you had the kitten? What methods have you tried? It always takes times with cats.

    Also, possibly unrelated, but have you gotten the kitten neutered yet?

    If they don’t become ‘friends’ they may learn to tolerate each other, just takes time for it to play out. They can be just like humans, some you like, some you tolerate, some you never like, etc.

    in my experience, females have this problem more than males……….. my 17 year old white female (Cuddles), never could learn to like my sweet Siamese (Abby)……. she ‘tolerated’ her for three or four years, but started ‘marking’ things in the house (like my good living room chairs and rug)………… and she was spayed as a kitten……….. finally, when we moved to a house that has a detached apartment/studio, I separated them – Cuddles lives in the apt. (Mr. AV works out there during the daytime) and Abby lives in the main house…………… she couldn’t be happier – no other cat/animal influence……………. lot of attention from Mr. AV………. doesn’t have to share litterbox, food bowl, etc………….. haven’t had one ‘incident’ of marking since they were separated……….. not my way of choice, but it works for us nicely……………… best of luck to you!

    My sweet little Sammie is like this too! She absolutely loves all humans, will hang and cling to you but HATES cats. She has always been this way, and I expect this will never change as she is 17 now.

    Just know that all cats have their own personality quirks, this is just one of them that she has. Best of luck!

    My Oreo has been living in the den for the past 3 years, and she couldn’t be happier not to deal with the dog and the other cats.
